Shame that it seems the left hand of Dreamhost giveth, while the right hand taketh away. Can we leverage a little pressure onto the Bandwagon folks to release an SFTP version real soon now? Too bad they can't just drop in one of the easy to use libraries, but they've got a commercial product, and I think the libraries are all GPL... Still, I would recommend Dreamhost customers _not_ use Bandwagon until an SFTP version is available. Or that Dreamhost puts together some _very_ clear documents on port forwarding?
